Hyper-V in Hyper-V?!? :)

For testing and presentation puropuses I have installed inside my full Windows server 2008 64 BIT installation with Hyper-V another standalone Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 - everything works – you can even manage it using Hyper-V manager from other server but you can not (obviously! :) ) run virtual machines. You get an error saying unable to create partition. You should be a wirdo to even think about souch stuff but I had a chance and I just could not resist pressing the START button. :) So you know now… Hyper-V inside Hyper-V does not work! :)

    it cannot work – there is just one IVT/AMDV instruction set and the hypervisor uses it to virtualize guests.
    it would make more sense to try something similar on a non-hypervisor solution like vmware server/ws or windows virtual server.
    i tried it on vmware ws but it does not work. not sure why but i suppose that it was using the IVT/AMDV (i forgot to turn it off).
    if you have the time you can try it… ;)
